Challenge #94 still needs attention, but here's a quick one sent in by Steve Danko. For this one, I want you to guess without looking up the answer question. You can wager some or all of your checking account balance.

I just watched today's (20 Nov 2007) broadcast of Jeopardy! and the Final Jeopardy category was "American Ancestry". Alex Trebec said that this was a new category for Jeopardy!

The answer was:ACCORDING TO THE CENSUS BUREAUAT 15.2% AND 10.8%THEY ARE THE 2 LEADINGNATIONAL ANCESTRIES OF AMERICANS

Remember to phrase your response in the form of a question. (Cue the music.)

I feel smart and stupid at the same time. I had a guess, but second guessed myself, and decided to do a google search, and the initial guess turned out correct, and now I can't post the question, because I looked it up, even though I knew the answer without doing so. But let it be known, I knew. At least until I hesitated.
